If the Senators still had any hope of earning home-ice advantage in the playoffs, it all but disappeared Saturday against the Leafs.

With a chance to move into fifth place, the Senators dropped to seventh. To get to fourth and the right to start the playoffs at home now, they'd have to win their remaining four games and hope either Boston or Montreal completely falls apart down the stretch. They'd also need the Leafs to lose at least one of their remaining three games.

So now, the Senators are looking at beginning the post-season on the road, where they are 8-11-3.

Saturday's loss dropped their record at Scotiabank Place to 15-4-3.

"You really can't focus too much on that," said goalie Craig Anderson. "Obviously, we've got a pretty good record at home, and on the road we're still working on that. All we can do is worry about one game at a time. Regardless of where it is, we can only focus on how we play."
